CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.-The following
extracts from an article in Sundays
issue of the Arbeiter Zeitung are in
teresting at the present juncture, rs
there has bsen some question if a
celebration, such as the Central La
Der Union, and & NUM- ter of singing
and turner societies intend to have
any trouble. Referring to attempts
to prevent any speaking at such
meeting, the paper says: "rae COM
!nittee that has rented Battery D.
Hall for grand celebration, Dec.
10th, is compelled to fight this in
sidious mob, which, in full con-
seriousness of its guilt, dare not
approach its honest opponents
openly, but only tries to obstruct
their way by trickery. 1t is sad
that such things can happen. but it
is elevating that Friday evening the
delegates of nine turner societies
declared as one man-It is our duty
as Turner's to protect the freedom Of
speech. AS thirty years ago our
brothers Of Cincinnati, turner

prot ct the noble Wendell Phillips,
who put their bodies against the
mob, that had majority, but was
governed by stupidity and villiany !;
as they we're ready to give up blood
and life tor the constitution and lib>
erty of speech guaranteed by it.,
they will also stand fast and true
when John Clay steps Oil the plat
form and speak to the working
people CT the past, present and fut-
ure. Ihoss were true turner's that
spoke in that strain, and we enter
tain a firm hope that those turner's
also who are in the minority in the
so>called conservative societies
will be sound on this question that
they will also know where their
place is; if any body, whoever it
may be, should make q frivolous
reasonable attempt, an attempt,
deserving of death to outrage the
rights of the people. But it will
not come TO this"
The article goes on to say that the
citizens, association will not let it
come to this for lack of courage, and
the organization would not 80 soon

STREET RAILWAY FOR AsHEvILLE-A Pro
POSITION WHICH WILL PROBABLY BE
ACCEPTED.
Last night committee of the Board of
Aldermen, composed of MesErs. Rankin.
Miller and Westall, met at City Hall to
consider proposition submitted by Mr..
L. i. Farinholt of Knoxville to construct
a street railway. 4 contract had been
drawn up embodying This purpose. Mr.
FarinhOlt and associates propose to con-
struct within six months line from the
depot through Depot street and Patton
Avenue to the Square, aud in two years
to have it completed from the Square
down North Main to Pulli2m, along Pull
liam, College, Oak, Woodfn, Charlotte,
Chestnut streets to Ncrrimon Avenue
thence to North Main, and along this to
South Main SO far as the town branch
The company will be incorporated as The
AsheviEIe Street Railway and Transfer
Company. 1t will use horse power, at
least at first.
The details OF the contract were care
fully considered last night, and all are
very favorable to the proposition. In
order to facilitate matters the Board OF
Aldermen will bs asked to meet in special
session to-day or tonight to take action.
1t was stated by Alderman Rankin
that Capt, McLoud auth oTized him TO
tender to this company the charter OBJ
tanned by himself from the Legislature
for street railway in Asheville, free CT
cost, which Mr.. Farinholt stated he
would accept most gratefully.
Mr. F. stated that he hoped to have
cars running between the depot and the
luare by January, and would do 80. if
the city accepted his proposition, wealth
er permitting and would extend the
service as rapidly as possible.
We have no doubt the authorities will
grant the charter. 1t is most impor-
tant enterprise for Asheville, and we be-
lieye will pay, both the company ID
the city. Dir. I. inlpresses US as Al ac-
tive, thoroaghgoing Business man, and
we trust he may succeed in giving lis a
good railway system at an early day.
